We don't seem to have active Redditors (people with the track record that would prevent being labeled as spammers), but I'm all for responsible promotion! Do we have within our community an establ...
If we allow immediate updates to be "folded into" the original post, I would want to block it if anybody has interacted with the post -- if someone voted in that first minute, then an unannounced e...
Thank you for this suggestion. I agree that this is a gap we should address. We're currently working on improvements to moderator tools that include letting moderators initiate private discussion...
This makes sense. The search-results page isn't "in" a category (same as the list of users, help, and some other pages aren't), so we'll need to add something to choose what category to create the...
This is now fixed. A "copy" button appears in the top right corner of a code block on hover (desktop) or on tap (mobile).
While reviewing older bugs we discovered that this problem no longer exists. I'm sorry we didn't catch this at the time; I don't know if someone fixed it but we failed to update here, or if it was...
We currently use Discord for community chat. Not everybody uses Discord and that's fine; nobody is required to be in chat. Someday we would like to remove our dependence on a third-party service,...
There are two aspects to copies, license/attribution and duplication. The CC-BY-SA license doesn't require you to include attribution links for your own work. This is why, on communities with imp...
Three of Codidact's early communities did large-scale imports of content from Stack Exchange, and at the request of some community members, we added an icon to those questions on question lists. O...
Speculative Science The scope of Worldbuilding.SE is very broad, ranging from hard-science questions about orbital mechanics to questions about the design of magical creatures. Some users from th...
SE sites (that aren't in beta) have "community ads", which are ads submitted by users on that site for things they think will be of interest to other users on that site. Some use them to promote S...
This is fixed now. We know that the error message isn't very informative; we'll try to address that later. But you now get one of those pink pop-up error messages if you try to link a post to its...
We have an issue open to fix this in the code, but I recently realized that moderators can also fix it locally: the close reasons are editable. I've edited it here on Meta to say "This question ha...
We had a lot of discussion about how to approach this, keeping responsive design in mind, and decided to add the search icon but not move the search bar into the header. I admit that you don't kno...
For some but not all users, the post counts are showing as 0 when that's clearly wrong. For example: That's from elsewhere on this page. The numbers also show as 0 for me in the user list (and...
You can now use tables in HTML or Markdown. See an example with Markdown: | Latin | English | Spanish | Catalan | |-------- |--------- |--------- |--------- | | filum | thread | hilo...
I'm speaking only for myself here. Unfortunately, we're still kind of winging this, and learning as we go. We now realize we launched some early communities without enough active, engaged members,...
The prerequisites for various site activities (currently reputation, to be replaced with trust levels) are configurable per site. The difference you're seeing for voting isn't so much intentional ...
The terms of service and code of conduct linked in the footer of every page on every site point to pages on Writing. That's because Writing was first and a standalone site before we added network ...
The current email path (and asking you to prove you control the account, because email can be spoofed) is a stopgap. We do want to allow you to delete an account more directly. If you could make ...
We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...
Our team has been exploring some ideas to improve Codidact's design. We've wanted to improve the visual design for a while, and we also have a lot of other usability changes we'd like to make. We...
Good question. A reaction doesn't bestow benefits (reputation, progress toward abilities, or preferential placement on the page), so in one sense reacting to your own post is harmless. On the oth...
We need to create some better "new community" documentation, but moderators will be able to do most of what you need, so first we have to identify the initial moderators. (Eventually each communit...
